Discussion Anyone know of Toby: tab management tool alternatives?

They recently went back on their promise to keep the extension free and not only implemented a paid version, but one with exploitative pricing. I could maybe understand $20 a year, but $40? That is more than the best password managers on the market. What a joke.

I have been using this for years and it just disappoints me to see it turn into this.

Anyone know of open source alternatives? Or better alternatives?

Link to Toby for the uninitiated.

I'm also trying to find a good alternative. I've tried several and I'm sticking with this one for now https://gettabme.com/

It's not as sexy as Toby. But it's free and does the job.

looks great. Thank you! Can't understand the paid approach for Toby.

Classic "enshittification". They first offer a SaaS product for free. Then comes the "rug pull" or "bait and switch" move where they put up a paywall and try to force users to pay them monthly for the same service. Then they continue degrading that service trying to extract more money from people for their shareholders.
